@eyang I began having adhesions after my first operation for PCOS. At that time, the doctor opened me up with a bikini cut. Nothing was said about endometriosis or the fact that my cysts were due to PCOS. I found all of that out later after several other operations for cysts on my ovaries. When they tried to do the hyster the "normal" way, all of the organs were basically glued together. They had to open me up all the way again. I even had the endometriosis come back after a full hysterectomy due to being on an HRT. It seems, estrogen feeds endometriosis. This past year, I had part of my lung removed due to cancer. I had a nerve block done 2 days ago because the pain has been ongoing in my chest area. The doctor admitted she saw adhesion in my lungs from surgery. I am not a doctor, but adhesion can be from endometriosis OR surgery. An OB-GYN can do a laparoscopy to determine the problem in most cases. There is also a form of deep massage that can be done to break up the adhesions. THAT did help in my case. Now I have to find out what can be done with my lung. A doctor usually does not want to do more surgery, because that can end up with more scar tissue/ adhesion returning. Some people are just more prone. Hope you find a good OB-GYN who will listen to you.
